Every such change requires scores of processes, and each process pyramids the price. The farmer must buy back the finished product, at the rate of several hides for a pair of shoes, several bales of cotton for a suit, a bushel of wheat for 10 loaves of bread. { He is thus at a great disadvantage, and to some extent must always remain so, trading large quantities of raw materials for small quantities of finished ones. But in so far as he can take away part of the finishing process from the middlemen who always have had the unorganized farmer at their mercy, he can take part of the profits and better his own position. Oranges, packed and graded so that the ; box leaving the co-op sheds is only opened 9 by the retail grocer 2,000 miles away; wool and cotton and tobacco graded and marketed by the farmer himself; milk protected and graded by the co-operative —these are all partially prepared prod- ucts.

MIGHT TEACH HER : | hye is quite reliable information to | the effect that the rulers of Turkey notify that they will not abide by the de- cision of the League of Nations council, | in-the Mosul matter, if that decision does not suit them. What ails Turkey is that she got off too easily in the world war. Puffed up by the successful defense of the Dardanelles and escaping with little punishment, the Turks have been arrogant, impudent and ready to fight ever since the armistice was signed. Maybe the best thing that could happen in the cause of world peace would be a dem- onstration that the decisions of the league can be enforced by radical measures, if necessary, in the case of Turkey. “Some of these divorcees may be stars, but watch me dim ‘em with the full moon,” advised Peggy Joyce, giving Hollywood the once over, Q.

But now that Ma is governor and threatened with impeachment, the first person plural become uddenly signifi cant. When Jim rushes to her defense using that “we” there is a lifting of eye brows all the way from the Rio Grande to Sabine Pass. It is proof enough for some Texas citizens that Jim, rather than Ma, is the real governor. “They've got me wrong,” plains to newspaper men, “I’ve ing ‘we’ for years where Ma and I concerned. 1 just can’t help it.” It's a perplexing tuation, both Jim and the rest of xas Perhaps, if women are going to be gov that obey clause really will have removed from the marriage Jim been com ay wert for ernors, to be mony cere next year,” advises © joy!

A. how that sounds like a marmoset on perch, busy with fle is a fine object lesson on the lib- eralism of our period. Time was when such an organization’s appearance in & court would indicate that it was there to have its organizers’ necks wrung. ‘Fhe New York courts merely object to the declaration of purpose, which really means nothing, since folks busy at mak- ing war on God will keep at it, with or without judicial permission. Verily, our country is crammed with “associations” bent on this, that or the other mission. The citizen who hasn't “joined” something is becoming of a class by himself. for Oregon's solons will legislate to protect the geo duck. The geoduck is sort of an over-grown gilliloo bird and has a decided gamey taste, like spinac OVERLOOKED HIM HE Nobel peace prize will not be awarded, this year.

A THOUGHT Ws appeal for decorations for Gen. Ed. King, as a martyr. He openly declared certain of the Mitchell trial pro- ceedings to be “d—— rot,” and they’ve drawn Article 86 of the sacred court- martial manual on him, his language be- ing “improper.” Pull King down off that court bench and discipline him, but decerate him! The sacredness of the manual demands the first of these actions and public opin- ion that the whole courtmartial is ‘““d— rot” demands the seccnd. Mussolini likes to ride a bicycle, eh?
